A vital arena in WWE's regular touring loop, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, and Kings had just held the Judgment Day pay-per-view ten-and-a-half months prior to WrestleMania 21. For the occasion, and fitting with the "WrestleMania Goes Hollywood" tagline that adorned a high-anticipated show, one of the greatest WrestleMania entrance sets of all time was unveiled before an impressed audience. A red carpet enveloped most of the entrance-way base, calling to mind many of the vapid awards shows held out in Tinseltown. To the side of the Titantron was a theater marquee that listed the match or segment's principals. WWE did a wonderful job sticking to a specific motif, one that didn't undermine the matches or feuds any, and it's one reason why WrestleMania 21 is largely memorable.
